We've probably thrashed this subject beyond any useful point, but I have one more data point to add. Today I went out with my local (French) bike club on a regular Wednesday morning ride. There were about 40 riders and about 35 of them had lights on their bikes. Of those 35, about 30 of them were...blinking.
This is the south of France, where things are a little "looser" with regard to rules and regulations. But down here, for daylight riding, the on-the-ground consensus is that blinking is OK.
One of our members is a policeman, by the way. He was on the ride. :)
